Is it a Zaskar? Nope, a '92 Xizang

Well it passes both tests for a Zaskar:

1) Magnet doesn't stick
2) Flat cap

Re:

Flat cap

I see you're in Yorkshire, were you referring to you or the bike?

Yeah - just messin' with you:



No slow build up thread on this one. Built up (partially, but including the wheels from scratch) the night before Icon-O-Classic. Anyone who saw it, will have noticed it slowly evolve over the course of the day.

Unfortunately the Tioga Disc Drive is only for show (I need another sheet to finish it on the non-drive side). Forks, stem and cranks were painted up in the week before I-O-C.

Nice! I think you were setting up the brakes when I walked past ;-)

Go on then, educate me, how can you identify Xizang from a triple triangle?

The welds were too small for aluminium.
